Weymouth bound.

Posted on April 1, 2024 by henry tapper

Depart Windsor 8pm, change at Slough, Reading and Winchester, arrive Weymouth 11.30. kick off 1pm, home for tea.

This time yesterday morning , I was wishing I could watch my team play today. Yeovil sit top of National League South and could clinch promotion in the next few days. But all tickets for Yeovil’s travelling fans had sold out long ago and I’d resigned myself to listening to the match on Radio Somerset and/or Three Counties.

Then – glory days! Weymouth released a few more tickets in the morning and now we’re booked up! Thanks to our super-supporter Sheridan Robins for this

Many are already there

Others on their way

Weymouth – a club in chaos

Losing your manager in the days leading up to the game is not ideal preparation for the Terras.

Assistant Mike Percival plus coaches Chris Humphries and Lea Barkus have all departed, but kitman Lloyd Green and physio Georgie Turner are understood to remain in post.

    We trust you weren’t the “medical emergency”, Henry.

      Thankfully not, though the lady was very close to me. They brought an air ambulance onto the pitch – we assumed to take the patient away. Instead, out popped a paramedic with a bag and the chopper buggered back to Henstridge.

      I once went to Sunderland v Newcastle and this was like that (except for the quality of football). As one fan said to me , we turned up- out team didn’t.

      Yeovil were awful and have no right to a replay but with their closest rivals losing against the bottom side, Yeovil come away from the afternoon in good shape.

      More than can be said for many fans – the cider had its way

      The manager spoke to a few of us after the corner flags had been removed. He didn’t want to go back on, Weymouth did. Our team appeared for a lap of dishonour in crocs, the Weymouth lads had their boots on to a man.

      Football is pretty weird.
